**Review: A Charming Visit to a Historic Community** We recently visited a family friend in a beautiful community and had an amazing time exploring the local area. One of the highlights was watching the boat locks in action. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, providing insightful information about the historic significance of the locks. The trails around the area were picturesque, especially in the morning light, which made for a refreshing and scenic walk. The experience was further enhanced by a surprising sight: we even spotted a snake in the water! 😱 Overall, it was a delightful visit, and we highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and nature.

Such a national treasure. Here @ Lock 32, in Bobcaygeon, Ontario we saw boats from Florida and Texas, doing the Great Circle Tour. This route makes it possible for boats to travel from the ocean through Canada's North Channel and back to the ocean, an inspiring trip along the route of the courier-du-bois and the explorers who mapped this country. Tiny towns and connected rivers and lakes take you on a journey full of the joy of summer in Canada.

Embarked on a cruise featuring the world's tallest hydraulic lift lock, witnessing the fascinating science behind its operation. Marveled at how the boat rises with the water level through this ingenious system. Remarkably, this engineering feat has been in use since 1904. The manually operated bridges along the route evoked a sense of stepping back in time. An unmissable experience for history and engineering enthusiasts alike.

We camped at lock 35 on Trent Severn. It was a great experience with family. Kids love the camping at OTENTIKS in lock 35. Parks Canada has done a fantastic job managing and maintaining. The staffs were so helpful and knowledgeable. We love to see and meet lot of people who were mooring around and lot of couples coming all the way from US. We also enjoyed renting a Avalon 60hp from Rosedale Marina.

We went camping to this place last year, it was so beautiful. Watching the boat locks was a great experience. The trails around these areas were so beautiful especially to see the sunshine in the morning.
